Shyne Update: He will be sent to Belize and will continue fight to get back to US from there
Posted by Miss Info under Crime , Crony-ism , Exclusives , Life Beyond Rap , Quotes[60] Comments
Today I was hanging out with my girl Angie Martinez on her show, and she told me she talked to Shyne and he wanted to share this update….
Shyne’s team is fighting to stay in the US where his mother and his grandmother live and where they raised him….but it seems like he’s going to have to continue the fight from Belize. Shyne will be released from Immigration custody but will then be deported to Belize soon. He has Harvard Professor Charles Ogletree advocating on his behalf in concert with his legal team. They’re still urging fans to reach out to Governor Patterson’s office to petition for Shyne’s pardon (click here for Paterson’s email and his address) but deportation is imminent if that pardon doesn’t come.
And what about Shyne’s mental state? Angie says “Shyne is one of the strongest people I know and he’s handling this situation just as I’d expect him to. It must be frustrating for all of his friends and family; he served his time, and keeps getting all these different dates and conflicting information. But he’s a soldier, he’s dealing with it.”
Listen to The Angie Martinez Show, with Ang and I discussing the news on Shyne Po.
[audio:Angie Info on Shyne.mp3]UPDATE: Blogxilla from Global Grind made a fantastic point…its not Gov. Paterson who has jurisdiction on Shyne’s immigration issue…it would be State Senator Charles Schumer because this is a Federal matter, not State. You can reach out to Schumer HERE.

1ST THE FAT BOYS BREAK UP NOW THIS
October 20th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
You know who else should be an advocate on Shyne’ behalf? The woman that got shot in the face and was beefing about Shyne’s business dealings when he got the deal with Def Jam and released that album, of course with concerns that he was violating Son of Sam laws and whatnot. If all of the victims of that night who have civil suits against Shyne want to see any sort of money, they should put him in a position to make money and stay in the US. For all young people who frequent this blog in high school or in the beginning stages of college, we need more lawyers and politicians who understand the plight of some of our hip hop stars. This may be a silver lining to this. Going back to Belize may give Shyne a chance to reconcile with his father which is something money or fame cannot buy.

Aint no free Shyne, his ignorant actions made him shoot up the club and this is what he got! Ya’ll acting like he was a victum and went to jail on a bogas charge! He broke the law and inocent people got hurt! And ya’ll wonder why our kids are so messed up! Its because ya’ll put values on the wrong things!
October 20th, 2009 at 9:34 pm

Let my fellow bretheren be! The man did his time, now it’s time to GRIND. It’s unfortunate how the system works but he’ll be good. We bout’ our paper, so he gonna be livin’ lav in the mountains of our beautiful country… keep ya head up Brother!
October 20th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
actually, the victim from the shooting has said that she feels Shyne should not be deported, because he’s been very cooperative with her civil suit.
October 20th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
I would think the most important thing would be getting out of jail, not like the mans going to be homeless in Belize
October 20th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
Sorry. But I just can’t get behind this “poor Shyne” movement. This man is not Mumia. Let’s keep it in perspective please. If you aren’t a citizen and you commit a violent crime. You will most likely face deportation. No politician who cares about his political future is going to pardon some ninja who let off shots in a night club and shot a woman in the face. Expecting that was ridiculous. I wish this black man the best and that he finds peace.
October 20th, 2009 at 11:39 pm
Shine is a GARBAGE RAPPER!!! Send him back…he won’t be missed!

I really can’t believe there aren’t more comments supporting Shyne.
October 21st, 2009 at 1:21 am
Damn can’t catch a break good to see he in contact with somebody like Angie though! Hopefully he could fight it but either way whatever happens we all know he could at least still make music no matter what as I stated in the last update!
October 21st, 2009 at 2:54 am
Shyne shot in the air I believe. The bullets that hit the victim were not from his gun. How come the other shooter wasn’t procecuted? He did wrong sure, but he got railroaded. I work in law enforcement and I see people doing worse and getting way less…….with public pretenders!
October 21st, 2009 at 5:16 am
LET MY MAN SHYNE PO LIVE Y’ALL. MY BRUTHA WAS SO YOUNG WHEN HE WENT IN AND PRACTICALLY MSSED OUT ON SO MUCH BEAUTIES OF LIFE. THIS IS COMING FROM LONDON.
Good judgment comes from bad experience, ap.s: nd a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:40 am
all the people on here hating on shyne it’s sad you wouldn’t make it in belize shit half of you would make it in DR and ya’ll like send him back. And that is not try say if you not from this country and you commit a violent crime you will be deported have you ever been to brooklyn most of the people out there is from a different countries and still get busy. They just don’t want to see him suceed bottom line. I tell you this much had he signed to G-unit while he was booked he wouldn’t be dealing with this BS or even a Jay-z nah Jay did dame dirty scratch jay but 50 is loyal and would have taken care of this asap.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:47 am
REMEBER SHYNE HAD THE ICED OUT GRILL WAY BACK!
FREE SHYNE PO!!
October 21st, 2009 at 8:00 am
The only one that sounds like a prick is you. If you bothered to read the article it clearly states he would be deported to Belize. Where did you get Haiti from? Have some common sense and read a book.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:53 am
MEN FUCK ALL THESE HATING ASS NIGGA WRITTING BOUT SHYNE….FREE SHYNE N I WISH HE DONT GET DEPOTED SO WHAT HE SHOT DA CLUB UP REAL HOOD NIGGA WE ALL CONVICTED NIGGA BUT WE STILL GOOD NIGGA……….
FREE SHYNE..
October 21st, 2009 at 10:53 am
He don’t need to be in the USA to make a hit record. I bet many US producers would be willing to go to belize or half way with tracks for Shyne. Thruth is he was a good rapper then but is he still a good rapper or betta now. It’s up to shyne To show the rap community he still has it. But good luck to him. Cause at the end of the day it what he puts out now that counts more……
October 21st, 2009 at 10:54 am
8 or 10 year hiatus is a tough wall to climb…..
October 21st, 2009 at 10:58 am
@ the ignorant heads here. It’s not hating just plain facts…
October 21st, 2009 at 11:08 am
they send dominicans haitians italians ect.for selling drugs back to there coun trys everyday in the east why should shyne be special,they got wives,mothers kids . he smart and did’nt fight cause the gov. was’nt gonna pardon him he’s not slick rick “hey young world” they hold you in I.N.S. up to 5 yrs before making a decision? just my thoughts.
October 21st, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Yeah? Just like the chick who got qualudded’ up and raped in the ass by a budding film producer in the 70s (so he wouldn’t get her pregnant) now thinks that homeboy shouldn’t have to face the music about 30 years later. It doesn’t matter what the ‘victim’ says. The law is to in place to protect citizens and to establish and maintain civility. You can’t have savages bringing guns into clubs and shooting wildly. I believe in redemption but he performed a heinous act, regardless of how much you guys wanna spit shine (no pun intended) his boots and suck his knee caps. Send that predicate felon the f ck outta here. Brooklyn Zoo! We got wild animals up in here for real…

Being a cop/court or corrections officer/meter maid doesn’t make you a lawyer/prosecuter/judge.
October 21st, 2009 at 2:22 pm
i said haiti cuz this fake street gangster is going back to the lap of luxury in belize where his father is an extablished politician. deport the dude to haiti if he really wants to embrace street life

Our immigrations laws definitely need to be revisited, but don’t get it twisted, they wont do it jst bc of Shyne. Sonn Broke the Law, he was found guilty…and yes every non American that’s been in a similar scenario is deported ASAP no questions asked. Listen if he has been here since he was 7, and chose not to get his citizenship then Nationality papers(u get the citizenship first)…I can’t, and I repeat can’t feel remorse for this Nigga. I was born in Jamaica…moved to BK when I was 6, my papers is straight, been straight since I was 16 got my dual nationality in order….and yes I vote. Madonna also has duel citizenship (UK & US). So why didn’t Shyne attempt this when he was running w/ Puff?
And why in Rush Limbough’s name are we feeling bad for him… Who are we kidding? This is the Internet Area, Shyne will still be able to drop a mixtape, album or feature…and yes I will get my hands on anything he puts out. MP3s will be his form of communications to fellow artist or Producers. And did we forget his Pop is the Prime Minister of a Damn Country? That’s like some King shit over there, He wont be back in a hut or something…and last I check he is Free, so Freedom is the key element that he wanted for the last 8 years, well he got it.
October 21st, 2009 at 2:24 pm
FREE SHYNE and for all you haters fuck you and get a life. REAL TALK. brooklyn stand up.
October 21st, 2009 at 3:11 pm

Awww…. Shyne….. Da United States, Land of oppurtunities! you’ve got all u can get from them… fame, money, ATTN. and a record deal and they want u more than ever. Coming to Belize isn’t all that bad. what’s wrong with living a laid back life… son of the Prime Minister,your work can still get done from here. We welcome u back home…we’re ready when u are.
Belizean 2 da Bone!

Your young dumb ass wouldn’t be saying that had that been your mom or your sis he popped in the face though.
October 21st, 2009 at 5:55 pm
I love Angie and Miss Info. They are the best in radio, period.
As far as Shyne, I believe he will pull through all this. Shyne will shine!
October 21st, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Out of curiosity. How come his mom, his uncle or his father, none of his relatives have been told about this deportation? It makes me wonder if the news is really true. Until I hear this from a family member or from Ogletree, i won’t believe it. This is misinformation.
October 21st, 2009 at 10:39 pm
you can choose to not believe something, and there could be a number of reasons why Shyne would have one take on his situation and share it with Angie, who he’s been friends with for years….but it wouldnt be told to his Uncle in Belize or his Father who he is not friendly with. But don’t tell me its “misinformation” like I’m trying to lie about some shit. We don’t do that around here. If we’re wrong, its by human error but never in the effort to mislead.
Check the resume.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:07 pm
where are you siting? on ya fucking brain ya dum ass nigga
October 21st, 2009 at 11:14 pm

You must be young! Shyne before going to jail was one of the best. Learn you music history!
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:43 am
@YDLAFAMS
You kind of going hard hate fam. Like I said, I watch plenty people do more and get less. It was wrong for him to have the gun and fire in a club, but I know people who have killed people and got 3-5 yrs. Also if the victims hold no hard feelings, why you all aggy?
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:06 am
Hey Miss Info,
I just wanted to let you know, that the person that made that petition did send it to the govenor. Atleast, thats what he said on twitter.
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:17 pm

October 22nd, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Shyne is a monsta on the mic; u kids need get on ya music!

Im trying to send senator schumer a letter to give my opinion in the shyne case, but i cant because im in canada and theres no way for me to put the proper information.. what should i do? becase i want to help! this is what iu want to send…. *I am Donny Moore of Hamilton Ontario Canada, and I am sending this to give my opinion about the rapper being held in immigration to be sent back to Belize, Shyne Po aka Jahmal Barrow. I think that he should be able to stay in America. I mean he did his time, alot of time (9 years of his life) and he served almost every last day of it. He has been very co-operative and remorseful through this, and he has been punished for what he done. 9 years in prison is a long time, especially through his 20’s right after starting his road to being a star, talk about your dreams being crushed. He missed almost his whole 20’s, yes its his fault, but he did what he had to do (his jail time). He has opportunities waiting in America and his mother and grandmother who have been very patient and been down a hard road with there son/grandson eliminated from there life. Again, it was his fault, but it all comes back to he did his time and should be treated fairly. Dont you think he’s been through enough? I think this is unfair and this case should be looked over again.* please help me get this out to senator schumer!
October 25th, 2009 at 4:26 pm

October 29th, 2009 at 1:36 pm

October 30th, 2009 at 1:24 am
Being a fellow Belizean I believe whatever the outcome is..which im sure he will be deported Moses will be fine. Rapping is not his entire life, there are plenty of things to do in Belize it’s a beautiful country and he should embrace it! Matter of fact he can help Belize by starting a label there. if he cannot come back to the U.S. then people from the U.S. can go to him! He is just blessed to have health and strength and i hope this was a life lesson for him. I LOVE SHYNE..keep ya head up
October 30th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
shyne is the man,, and i hope the best,, but he should be able to stay,, its only fair. he f***** up and his punishment was jail,, he stuck to his half of the deal and did his time, now its time for u.s.a. to stick to there side of the deal, he did what he had to, let shyne shine!
October 30th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
